Old Lady, Love Of My Life! (vocal)

Описание: You shuffled in
small cardigan.
Laughing at your own bad jokes.
You called me "kid".
I rolled my eyes,
but you saw straight through the smoke.

You poured the tea,
I spilled my heart
At that crooked kitchen table.
You held my fears with steady hands,
made the broken feel still able.

You will always be the love of my life!
Not the kind they write in movies,
but the truest kind.
Old lady!
With your soft worn hands
you were home in this restless mind.
You left me early,
but you’re stitched in my days.
Every smile.
Every word you’d say.
Old lady.
Love of my life!
I will never let you fade!

Almost five years of Sunday calls.
Your voice humming through the line.
You’d say:
“Tell me what you learned today!”,
then pretend you had the time.

You smelled of soap and orange peels.
Kept your stories in a tin,
pulled them out when I lost hope,
till I felt the fight again.

You will always be the love of my life!
Not the kind they write in movies,
but the truest kind.
Old lady!
With your soft worn hands
you were home in this restless mind.
You left me early,
but you’re stitched in my days.
Every smile.
Every word you’d say.
Old lady.
Love of my life!
I will never let you fade!

Your warmth and your wisdom
sit beside me in the dark (oh).
When I talk into the silence,
I still hear your steady heart.

You will always be the love of my life!
Happiest years that I ever knew!
You were by my side
Old lady!
With your soft worn hands.
You’re the reason I still try.
You left me early,
but I carry your name.
In the quiet.
In the joy.
In the pain.
Old lady!
Love of my life!
I will never say goodbye!
